SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RUS is hereby publishing the names of the 
organizations which applied for grants under 7 CFR Part 1703 Subpart D, 
Distance Learning and Medical Link Grant Program (DLMLGP). These

    The Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture 
Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-354, 101 Stat. 3178), signed by 
President Clinton on October 13, 1994, provides for the establishment 
of RUS as successor to REA with respect to various programs, including 
telecommunications programs authorized by certain statutes. On October 
20, 1994, the Secretary of Agriculture issued Secretary's Memorandum 
1010-1, establishing RUS and abolishing REA. Therefore, RUS is 
publishing this notice implementing a rule originally published by REA.
    The following information is being published in accordance with 
Sec. 1703.115, Public notice of applications received. The applicants 
are as follows:
